AI Forum: Can AI Make Hiring More Human? (Replay)

AI is becoming mainstream in recruiting but not everyone trusts it.

62% of employers now use AI somewhere in their hiring process, yet only 15% feel confident it reduces bias. And 1 in 5 candidates say automation has made their experience worse.

So what's gone wrong — and what will it take to fix it?

Join Recruiting Brainfood’s Hung Lee, Aptitude Research’s Madeleine Laurano, and Oleeo’s Head of Product Hayley for a candid conversation on the real state of AI in talent acquisition. Backed by new global data, they’ll unpack how recruiters can use AI to hire faster, fairer, and more humanly — without losing control.
